It is Hope’s sixth unbeaten MIAA campaign. The Flying Dutch joined the 2009-10, 2007-08 and 2005-06 teams who went 16-0 and the 2002-03 and 2000-01 teams who went 14-0.

“Our first league game was November 19. That was (three) whole months ago with Calvin. It’s a long grind,” Hope coach Brian Morehouse said. “We stuck with it. I’m proud of this team.”.

Senior guard Brittany Berry of Grand Rapids (Catholic Central HS) recorded game-highs with 18 points and five assists to lead Hope. She sank four 3-pointers in front of a DeVos Fieldhouse crowd of 717.

Sophomore forward Maura McAfee of Midland (Midland HS) posted her 12th double-double of the season for the Flying Dutch with 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
